Plot

SpongeBob and Squidward are mixed up together, with grotesque results. This was because Sandy invents a bizarre invention that causes SpongeBob and Squidward to become fused together. Squidward states that he has a clarinet recital tomorrow night. He begs and pleads with Sandy hoping that Sandy will invent a new experiment to separate them. After the applause from the audience Squidward decides he doesn't want to be defused. Sandy separates them and Squidward gets angry. He starts pressing knobs and buttons on the machine and ends up fusing everyone together. The episode ends when Squidward is asked by a therapist, "What seems to be the problem, Mr. Tentacles?" Squidward then replies, "It all started... When I was born." At which point the camera zooms out to show that everyone from the audience is fused together in a grotesque conglomeration.

Cultural References

• Squidward's hair in his fantasy is similar to Kenny G's
• The "being fused with a teleportation device" premise is taken from The Fly.
• A similar fusing occurred in a "Star Trek: Voyager" episode, when Tuvok and Neelix fused due to a teleporter incident into the character Tuvix. As the case with SpongeBob and Squidward, Tuvok and Neelix are quite dissimilar and could hardly be called friends.

Trivia/Goofs

• In later episodes, all the characters are in their same body again, where Sandy is sponge, squid, crab, snail, puffer fish, sea- star, and squirrel in this episode. The doctor possibly cured them or one of them came up with an idea to solve themselves.
• In this episode, when SpongeBob and Squidward are mutated, Squidward uses SpongeBob's yellow arm to move and SpongeBob uses Squidward's gray arm to move. At the end of the episode, before they go on stage, SpongeBob tells Squidward, "Now go out there and give them the best darn show they have ever seen," pointing with the yellow arm, not the gray.
• At the end of the episode, SpongeBob, Squidward, Sandy, Patrick, Mr Krabs, Pearl, Mrs. Puff, and Larry (not seen in the last scene) were melded together, but it never showed how they got back to normal.
